    I'm trying to figure out a way of getting the number of seconds to the next half hour from a UNIX/epoch timestamp. For example in epoch the below is the time in seconds from 1 Jan 1970: 1357842530 which equates to Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:28:50 GMT Currently the epoch timestamp is stored in byte...

    Effect of interrupt on HSerOut/HSerIn

    I think I saw reference somewhere on the effect of triggering an interrupt while a HSerOut or HSerin is in progress. Is there any info on this in the manuals? Will the trigger of an interrupt abort a HSerOut mid transfer, conversely will the triggering of an interrupt effect a HSerIn background...

    USB interface

    I'm wondering is it as straight forward as I imagine or is there some gotcha that I may be overlooking. What I want to do is interface a PICAXE with a USB device. I can successfully connect to the device via a terminal and issue AT commands from my computer. Is it simply a matter of butchering...

    Hi, I have a noob question, basically I am issuing a command to an AT interface and wish to wait on a returned value before continuing with the rest of the program. I seem to be able to process the first part correctly ie. in the "wifly1" subroutine but after it enters the "wifly2" subroutine...

    I'm sure this question may have been asked before but I'm wondering if there is any way of interfacing a Picaxe so that it would allow basic tcp/ip connectivity. Essentially what I wish to do is push data to a server via maybe FTP. I know there are embedded devices available that can do this but...

    I can't seem to find any info in the docs about the maximum baud rates for chips. If anyone could point me in the right direction? More specifically I need to know do any chips support 5700bps serial. If not is it possible to get some buffer device to mesh them?
